Another pre-trial detention, the sixth in a row, was decided by the Investigator and Prosecutor for the case of the criminal organization of fans, pointing the way to prison for a second considered director of the group, who is also accused of being one of the moral perpetrators of the murder of the police officer Giorgos Lyggeridis .
This is a 33-year-old man, who allegedly denies the accusation that he was involved in any way in the murderous attack outside the stadium in Rentis and claims, also providing video footage, that at the time of the incidents in the area he was and remained in the stands shouting slogans to “enliven our beloved team” as he states in a memorandum he handed over to the judicial officer.
In the memorandum, he states, among other things, that “the prosecuting authority does not count me among the alleged moral perpetrators.
The police authorities until 26.02.2024 do not include me not only as a moral perpetrator or a physical perpetrator but also as a person who played an important role in the implementation of the plan”.
He also responds to the reference in the case file that he stored materials from the stand, saying that indeed he had gone to “Georgios Karaiskakis” on the afternoon of December 7, before the match in Rentis, with a vehicle he had rented, because his own had a problem. after I got the “sails – flags” I placed them in my car. I did not give any “instructions” to cause incidents”.
Among the 6 who were remanded for participation in the criminal organization of sports violence is the 31-year-old, known to the authorities as “Kokos”.
He is hospitalized out of danger as he self-injured his hands after hearing that he will not be released. The 31-year-old has a heavy criminal record and convictions for racist assault. The manager of a well-known trapper who denies what is attributed to him was also remanded in custody, but the Investigator and Prosecutor decided that he should be sent to prison.
20 were also released, among them the 16-year-old brother of the 18-year-old in custody, who will have to appear at the police station in his area while he was banned from watching matches. The case is being handled by five investigators, while criminal charges have been brought against the 67 arrested for 28 offences, 12 of which are felonies.
The 16-year-old was imposed the restrictive conditions of appearing at the police station of his area and the prohibition of watching sports matches.
According to the information, the minor denied the accusations and claimed that it was the first time he got hold of a naval flare and when he realized how dangerous it was, he threw it down.
Among other things, the 16-year-old is reported to have said: “Suddenly after the first set the court door opened and I saw about 100 people running out. Then my brother followed them to see what was going on. In my attempt to reach my brother who was well ahead of me, I remained on the spot for some minutes in the crowd, when some stranger gave me a flare to hold. For the first time in my life I caught a flare. I didn’t know exactly what it is and how it works. As soon as I realized that there was some dangerous object in my hand, I was scared. I immediately let her out of my hand and immediately threw her down.”
